Does indie basically mean alternative now?

>indie jazz

It's not. Lots of that indie shit is neither alternative nor independent.

I feel many music critics (even musicians) don't get why people were interested in alternative music in the first place. Today I made the mistake of watching the melon's AOTY so far and it was so disgusting it ruined my day.

What does indie mean so?

>indie indie

indie and alternativ are mostly synonymous, it's all about aesthetic, usually gufy, teenage, emotional, effeminate rock music like my bloody valentine, neutral milk hotel, sufjan stevens, etc.

You couldn't sound more insecure if you tried.

original

Indie is a term scumbag reviewers use to describe music that sounds like some kind of 90's independant rock, the kind you could put in the background of a bottled water commercial without offending anyone.

The real meaning of indie should be: signed on an independant label. And people should expect from the music released of these labels to be daring, personal and maybe played by your cousin or something.

when you have to describe something you need to use adjectives..

great album tho
